Nice job, Shannon! I'm just wondering, though, if the roleplaying elemenets are pronounced enough to go with the RPG reviews? (Not a big deal -- just curious.)

Dan,

It is a Tabletop Mini Game. There are some small elements, but the primary goal is to slug it out with other monsters. I believe, but not certian, that there is a Campaign section that deals with improvements though.

The RPG elements are light to non-existent, depening on how you want to play it. To a large extent, it is tabletop miniatures.

I categorized it as RPG mainly because the core game system, Action!, is an RPG system, and thus there's room for expansion in that direction if ever desired.
